The L to the O to the R-E-M

I just grabbed my PIs to show them the poster-in-progress. I'd love to take a picture of it for you--if I had a decent enough camera, which I don't--just because it currently consists of a drawn outline on the white board marking the dimensions with 20-odd pieces of paper with pictures and graphs on them taped all over the place, surrounded by notes, arrows pointing all over the place, and random scribbles. It looks like the bulletin board in the tinfoil-hat guy's apartment just at the moment. I'm resisting the urge to start including references to the Freemasons, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the breaking of the Seventh Seal just to make the subtext explicit.

But the amusing thing that just happened was that I accidentally introduced them to while showing them the poster. See, I had several variations on "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" distributed throughout the poster to simulate the introduction, conclusion, and various captions, just using it as a placeholder for text (as it's usually used for), and apparently neither of them had heard of it before. I'm not sure if I've previously gotten the chance to tell John something novel without having just learned it myself, so I am immensely pleased with myself for the moment.
